Mobile Tyre Fitting in Tenbury Wells
Tenbury Wells, the Teme bridge and the Kyre Brook — 24 hours a day.
Maximum 60 minute response. We have drivers across England and Wales, so a call gets a fitter to the vehicle rather than you moving a car that is not safe to move. Call 07989 606060 with your tyre size and location.
Tenbury Wells stands on the south bank of the Teme, and the county boundary runs down the middle of the water. Burford, directly opposite, is in Shropshire — and so is the main road.
That is the thing to understand about reaching the town. The A456 does not come into it. The road crosses into Shropshire between Newnham Bridge and Burford and runs along the far bank, so you leave it, drop onto the A4112 and come over the Teme bridge into Teme Street. From the north and east there is no other way in.
Roads and places we get called to around Tenbury Wells
- The Teme bridge and Teme Street, carrying the A4112 into the middle of the town.
- The A456 past Burford, on the Shropshire side of the river.
- The B4214 north, climbing towards Clee Hill.
- The B4204 east towards Clifton upon Teme and Martley.
- Market Street, Cross Street and the car parks behind the main street.
- The lanes out to Kyrewood, Berrington and Rochford.
The Teme and the Kyre Brook
Two watercourses meet in the town and they do not behave alike. The Teme is the large one and the one everybody watches. The Kyre Brook comes in from the east and it is the one that surprises people, because something that small can be across a road while the river is still comfortably inside its banks.
Water here used to arrive about once a decade. Since 2020 it has been close to annual, and the town has had bad years in 2007, in 2020 and in several of the years since. A scheme of walls, embankments and flood gates has been drawn up for Tenbury, but the funding for it has not been found and nothing has been built — so the work going on instead is property by property, on individual buildings.
The consequence for a call-out is plain enough. There is nothing here to hold the water back, so when it comes the roads in and out go under with everything else. The catchment above the town is small and steep, which means the level rises fast and falls back fast as well. Tell us what the water is doing as well as where it is: a river still coming up and a river already dropping are two different jobs.
The holly and mistletoe sales
Tenbury is the last town in the country still running the winter mistletoe and holly auctions. They fall on Tuesdays at the end of November and the start of December, they begin early in the morning, and they are held across the water at Burford rather than in the town itself.
The traffic is unlike anything else in the Tenbury year: vans and pickups towing trailers, in from a long way off, arriving empty and going home loaded. A vehicle that was fine on the way over is a different proposition with several hundredweight of cut greenery in the back, and the climb out over Clee Hill is where a soft tyre on a laden van tends to make itself known. If you are coming for the sales, the time to look at your pressures is before you load rather than after.
Teme Street and the middle of the town
Teme Street carries on straight from the bridge and it is the working street — narrow, kerbed tight, parked down one side, and taking traffic that has nowhere else to go. Market Street and Cross Street behind it are narrower again.
So on a town-centre job the honest answer is often that we would sooner have the car in one of the car parks off the main street than at the kerb on Teme Street. Say where you are standing and we will settle that on the phone.
We also cover Ludlow over the Clee Hill road, Kidderminster along the A456, and Bewdley on the Severn.

Before we arrive
- Find your locking wheel nut key. Without it the wheel cannot come off. It is usually in the glovebox, the boot well, or with the spare.
- Read your tyre size off the sidewall, for example 205/55 R16 91V, so we arrive with the right tyre rather than making a second trip.
- If you are on a motorway or dual carriageway, get as far left as you can or into a refuge, then everyone out through the passenger doors, over the barrier and well back from the carriageway — not in the car. Ring with the junction number and your direction of travel.
- Describe where you are, not just your postcode. A junction number, a bay number, a farm, a pub or a bridge puts us on the spot far faster — rural postcodes can cover a mile of near-identical lane. We bring our own lighting, so darkness is not a problem.
More detail in our guides on what to do with a flat tyre on the motorway and checking your tread depth.
Repair or replace
Whether a tyre can be repaired is decided by where the damage is, not by how big the hole looks. Damage inside the central three-quarters of the tread, up to 6mm across, is repairable under BS AU 159. Damage in the shoulder or the sidewall is not, at any size — there is no way to reinforce a sidewall that flexes on every revolution.
The other thing that rules out a repair is having driven on the tyre flat. A short distance is enough: the sidewall folds under the rim and the internal cords break. That often does not deflate the tyre at the time — it shows up days later as a soft rounded bulge, and a tyre in that condition has to be replaced whatever the original puncture looked like.
How the damage was made matters as much as where it is. A nail or a screw pierces, leaving a neat hole that is usually well within the limit. Flint, crushed stone, quarry aggregate and dropped stainless fixings cut instead — a gouge or a tear rather than a puncture — and a cut frequently exceeds the repairable size even when it lands squarely in the middle of the tread. That is why we take the tyre off and look inside before telling you either way, rather than judging it from the outside.
Impact damage behaves the same way. A pothole or a kerb taken at speed compresses the suspension fully and pinches the sidewall between the rim and the obstacle. If that has happened, check both tyres on that side — the rear takes the same hit a fraction of a second after the front — and look for a bulge rather than for a hole.
We carry both outcomes to every job, so a repair that turns out not to be safe does not become a second visit.
Age and wear
Tread depth is not the only thing that retires a tyre. Rubber hardens as it ages whatever the mileage, which is why a caravan, motorhome, trailer or second car can carry almost full tread on a casing that is well past useful life. The four-digit date code on the sidewall gives the week and year it was made — our guide on how long tyres last covers where the line falls.
Depth matters most in standing water. The legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters, but a tyre's ability to clear water falls off well above that — by about 3mm you are losing it noticeably, and aquaplaning starts at lower speeds than most drivers expect. Our tread depth guide covers checking it with a 20p coin in about a minute.
Wear patterns are worth reading too. Both outer shoulders going before the middle usually means underinflation, or a lot of cornering and hill descent; one edge alone is more often alignment. We will tell you which it looks like when we are there — see uneven tyre wear for the full picture.
Vans and light commercials
A van needs a tyre carrying the C marking and the correct load index. That is not interchangeable with a passenger tyre of the same nominal size, whatever may have been fitted before — the casing is built to carry more, and a loaded van on passenger-rated tyres is running outside the rating.
Tell us whether the van is loaded when you ring, and we will bring the right fitment first time. Details of what we carry are on the commercial tyres page.
How the repair is done
The wheel comes off, the tyre comes off the rim, and the inside of the casing is inspected before anything else happens. The puncture is then repaired from within using a combined plug and patch, and the wheel is balanced before it goes back on.
That inspection is the part that matters. An external plug pushed into the tread without removing the tyre is a get-you-home measure: it can seal the hole while leaving damage inside the casing entirely undetected, and that damage is what causes tyres to fail later at speed. It is the same job a garage does, done where the vehicle already is.
A slow leak with no puncture to find
A tyre that loses air over days with nothing in the tread has usually failed at the seal rather than the surface — a corroded alloy bead seat, or a perished valve stem. Neither can be found with the tyre still on the rim, and neither is fixed by topping the pressure up.
It typically announces itself on the first cold morning of the year. Cold air contracts, dropping the pressure a few PSI, and a leak that was tolerable through mild weather is a visibly flat tyre by the time you come out to the car. The fix is the tyre off the rim, the sealing face cleaned back to sound metal, and a new valve.
Working conditions around Tenbury Wells
Standing water. We will not drive a van through water of unknown depth, so if a road is flooded we may ask to meet you on higher ground. Tell us which road you are on when you ring and we will work out the approach before setting off rather than after.
Common questions in Tenbury Wells
- My address is Tenbury but I have broken down on the A456.
- Then you are on the Shropshire bank rather than in the town, which is normal here and worth saying out loud. Give us the direction of travel and the last turning you passed, and we will come over the bridge to you.
- Why does Tenbury not have barriers like the towns downstream?
- Because the scheme designed for the town has not been funded, so none of it is built. The protection going in at the moment is on individual properties, which does nothing for a road.
- The Kyre Brook is over the road but the river looks fine.
- That happens here regularly and the brook is the one to believe. Tell us which road and we will work out an approach that does not involve driving into it.
- Can you come out during the holly and mistletoe sales?
- Yes, and we expect the calls. Say if the vehicle is loaded and whether it is towing, because that changes what we need to bring and how we lift it.
- Do you cover Burford, Kyrewood and Rochford?
- Yes, across WR15 and over the bridge into the villages on the Shropshire side.
